WL 10.3 Commons LogFactory NoClassDefFoundError, Hibernate

Question

I keep getting this error when I try to deploy on weblogic 10.3. I'm trying to initialize hibernate through spring. We are using split-directory structure for development.
Code:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/commons/logging/LogFactory
at org.hibernate.util.XMLHelper.<clinit>(XMLHelper.java:26)
at org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.reset(Configuration.java:196)
Here is the spring configuration
Code:
<bean id="jndiTemplate" class="org.springframework.jndi.JndiTemplate">
<property name="environment">
<props>
<prop key="java.naming.factory.initial">weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory</prop>
</props>
</property>
</bean>
<bean id="dataSource" class="org.springframework.jndi.JndiObjectFactoryBean">
<property name="jndiTemplate" ref="jndiTemplate" />
<property name="jndiName" value="ds.oracleds" />
</bean>
<!-- lazy-init="true"-->
<bean id="sessionFactory"
class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.LocalSessionFactoryBean">
<property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource" />
<property name="mappingResources">
<list>
<value>test.hbm.xml</value>
</list>
</property>
<property name="hibernateProperties">
<props>
<prop key="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.Oracle10gDialect</prop>
<prop key="hibernate.show_sql">true</prop>
<prop key="hibernate.generate_statistics">true</prop>
</props>
</property>
</bean>
<bean id="hibernateTemplate" class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.HibernateTemplate">
<property name="sessionFactory" ref="sessionFactory" />
</bean>
<bean id="testDao" class="test.TestDao">
<property name="hibernateTemplate" ref="hibernateTemplate" />
</bean>

Hi,
Along with Hibernate 3.0 suit you will find two JARS:
commons-logging-1.0.4.jar
commons-logging.jar
I can see only one Jar in your Jar List...not the commons-logging-1.0.4.jar.
Please refer to the following link: http://jaysensharma.wordpress.com/hibernate/. Here u will find the Required Jars for Hibernate 3...
Thanks
